Aprilia is finalising a move to acquire current VR46 rider Marco Bezzecchi for the 2025 MotoGP season to replace KTM-bound Maverick Vinales, according to reports. Motorsport.com has reported that Bezzecchi’s future in MotoGP will lie with Aprilia as the Italian will leave his affiliation with Valentino Rossi’s satellite Ducati squad.

According to a report by Motorsport.com, Bezzecchi is expected to join Aprilia in MotoGP, parting ways with Valentino Rossi’s satellite Ducati team. Despite his strong performance last season with three wins, Bezzecchi has struggled with a GP23 this year, currently ranking 11th in the Riders’ Championship. His decision to stay with his current team rather than move to Pramac alongside Jorge Martin in 2024 may have backfired. The potential move to Aprilia could lead to Pramac considering a switch from Ducati to Yamaha due to tensions following Ducati’s signing of Marc Marquez. Bezzecchi, a product of Valentino Rossi’s Academy, is one of several riders who have ties to Rossi, causing potential friction with Ducati over a move.
